Tips for students studying online
In a post-pandemic world, students need to find new ways to stay connected. These days it’s possible to complete your studies or degree fully online, which means the need to live near your place of study isn’t a must for many students. The cost of living has become increasingly high and as student you might find it difficult to move away from the family home. Which makes online learning, even to a higher level, an appealing option!
At Wireless Dynamics, we cover over 2,000 square kilometres of the King Country so there’s a high chance we have you covered for a fast, affordable, and reliable internet connection! We unlock endless capabilities for learning, making it easy for students to study at home. It’s time to take advantage of learning with no geographical boundaries.
If this is something you or your family members are considering here’s our top tips for succeeding as an online student.
Stick to a schedule
One of the great things about online learning is having full flexibility over your schedule. Be mindful that this does allow procrastination to creep up on you, but sticking to a consistent schedule helps to ensure you aren’t leaving everything until the last minute. Remember to watch those lectures live and stick to your schedule.
Take ‘offline’ breaks
Staring at a screen for hours is a great way to feel unmotivated and uninspired. Taking regular and scheduled breaks will do wonders for motivation and your mental wellness in general.
As well as breaks from your screen, handwriting some of your notes is a great way to mix it up and reduce your eye strain.
Stay connected
Utilise student forums where you can connect with your fellow students. This makes up for the lack of in person communication.
As well as forums a lot of papers will have student run Facebook pages which allows communication on a student to student level.
Ensure you have a stable and reliable connection
No connection, no learning! This is the most important step – without a stable and reliable internet connection online students will miss out on critical learning moments. This can also cause you to fall behind, leaving you with an uphill battle to get back on track.
